scope:

This module sets out the minimum requirements for the training and competency assessment of individuals who undertake signal sighting activities on Network Rail managed infrastructure.

It applies to all individuals who undertake the signal sighting activities on Network Rail managed infrastructure (including Infrastructure managers, Operations Managers, Station operators and individuals introducing changes to or impacting signalling assets), unless the employer can demonstrate fundamental equivalence in the assurance of employee competence by using an alternative system.

NOTE: Signal Sighting Committee Chair Competence can only be awarded by Network Rail.

This competence standard module does not apply to signal maintenance tasks for alignment and visibility of signals. This process is detailed in NR/L3/SIG/10663.

The Parent Competences in scope for this Competence Standard Module are set out in Table 1.

Purpose 

This module confirms that individuals who undertake signal engineering work are competent and hold the appropriate competences to perform the work safely and correctly. 

This document should be read in conjunction with NR/L2/SIG/50035 and provides the detailed requirements for the award and maintenance of the competences within the CCS Signal Sighting Competence Framework.
